Good luck getting them back down, the oils probably soaked in, and now your tires will be permanently slippery. | |

Those babies will be oily for life. Don't think oily = sticky, which is probably what you were looking for. |

they aren't oily.... and it's not such a big deal.....but they did swell a little around the bead..... like 3mm or so..... would some heat shrink them? or frezzing them shrink them? they are so close it's not even funny but I can't get them to mount......

if they were still on the rims, do you think I'd have a problem mounting them? | |

Buy new tires. Sux when you ruin something. and this is no longer the era of drill motors moabs and rock lizards. there is no reason to try and polish a turd, only to end up with diarrhea. Just buy a set of good tires. |
